I found power commands for Roku 4 that work on the Remoku app
Yesterday at customer's home I noticed a power button on the mobile app for the Roku 4. So i loaded up a tablet emulator on my pc and ran wireshark and I was happy to see that the power button was on the app. I pressed it and found the power code.This works best with Roku 4 so far (looking forward to the new models), and on the Roku 3 it just goes to the background screen after indicating that it is powering off.
Here are the codes:
{"keypress":"power"} This is more like a power toggle function
{"keypress":"poweroff"} This also acts like a power toggle function
{"keypress":"poweron"} This code seems to be a discrete Power On function.
I also Tried {"keypress":"sleep"}. The Front indicator light flashed but nothing seemed to happen.
The other ones I tried didn't work, such as powerstandby, standby, on, off, ect....
Being a custom AV installer this is helpful in many different ways. The Roku4 does not send audio or video when in the "Display Off" power mode. This helps with HDMI hadshake issues with EDID, since you have to set your display type instead if it automatically scaling to the resolution of your TV, projector, or monitor.
